Before the season the concept of Oakland winning the division was like a Dane Cook joke: not funny and not worth your time. Now win their final two games and it's theirs.

The Tigers became the first American League team to clinch a playoff spot. So if you had Detroit in the pool, commence back-patting.

Losing to the Pirates means the Braves will have to settle for the coin-flip game. I hope the Braves have been keeping up on their thumb exercises.

Mike Trout's problem is he's too good. If he were lousier people would see how difficult the things he does are.

It will be interesting to see how the Yankees, who have blown a 10-game lead, react if they win the AL East. My guess is they take a nap. Because they're old.

Winning wasn't enough as Oakland's win sealed Tampa's fate. But making it as far as they did on the 26th largest payroll in baseball is quite an accomplishment.

The Nationals are in the playoffs. It's the first time a baseball team from Washington has been in the playoffs since 1933. Know who was president in 1933? Ha! Trick question. Presidents hadn't been invented yet.

If Ron Washington can coax a win out of Texas in one of the last two games the Rangers will be division champs. Of course we all know Division champs is fine but nothing compared to losing in the World Series.
